however, international research shows that children in schools rarely get the disease from each other or from teachers.
ach sin ráite go léiríonn taighde idirnáisiúnta gur annamh a fhaigheann páistí i scoileanna an aicíd óna chéile nó ó mhúinteoirí.
There will be cases of the virus in children in the coming days and weeks, as there was during the pandemic, Dr Glynn said.
Beidh cásanna den víreas ann i measc páistí sna laethanta agus seachtainí romhainn, mar a bhí le linn na paindéime, a dúirt an Dr Glynn.
Where possible, public health teams will liaise and co – operate with schools and appropriate steps will be taken to protect other children and school staff.
Sna cásanna a mbeidh ann, beidh foirne sláinte poiblí ag plé agus ag comhoibriú le scoileanna agus tabharfar na céimeanna cuí le páistí eile agus foireann scoile a chosaint.

“Imní nadúrtha í seo ar féidir a bheith ag súil leis tar éis sé mhí ina raibh orainn dul i ngleic leis na dúshláin a chothaigh covid 19.”
